Cape Malay
The Cape Malay ((アフリカーンス語:Kaapse Maleiers), (マレー語:Melayu Cape)) community is an ethnic group or community in South Africa. It derives its name from the former Province of the Cape of Good Hope of South Africa and the people originally from Maritime Southeast Asia, mostly Javanese from modern-day Indonesia (largely speakers of Malayu, hence the name Malay), a Dutch colony for several centuries, and Dutch Malacca,〔(Book Title: Malaya and Its History.

CHAPTER VI THE DUTCH AT MALACCA. )〕 which the Dutch held from 1641 – 1824.〔(Seminar Peradaban Melayu 1: Paper 6, 24 November 2009, by Prof.Abdullah )〕 The community's earliest members were enslaved Javanese transported by the Dutch East India Company. They were followed by slaves from various other Southeast Asian regions, and political dissidents and Muslim religious leaders who opposed the Dutch presence in what is now Indonesia and were sent into exile. Malays also have significant South Asian (Indian) slave ancestry. Starting in 1654, these resistors were imprisoned or exiled in South Africa by the Dutch East India Company, which founded and used what is now Cape Town as a resupply station for ships travelling between Europe and Asia. They were the group that first introduced Islam to South Africa.
==Terminology==
The Cape Malay identity can be considered the product of a set of histories and communities as much as it is a definition of an ethnic group. Since many Cape Malay people have found their Muslim identity to be more salient than their "Malay" ancestry, people in one situation have been described as "Cape Malay", or "Malays" and in another as Cape Muslim by people both inside and outside of the community. Also, over time, the original Indonesian slaves intermarried with various other groups, including other slaves from South〔 and Southeast Asia, Madagascar, and native African groups.
From the early 1970s to the present, some members of this community – particularly those with a political allegiance to broader liberation movements in South Africa – have identified as "black" in the terms of the Black Consciousness Movement. The "Cape Malay" identity was also a subcategory of the "Coloured" category, in the terms of the apartheid-era government's classifications of ethnicity. Like many South Africans, people described in some situations as "Cape Malay" are often the descendants of people from many continents and religions.
The term ''Malay'' may have originated from the Malayo-Portuguese language that was a lingua franca in Asian ports.〔
